What, you don’t carry a book around with you in your house?

It's time for another meme! This one: Booking through Thursday. Tell me in the comments if you do the same; or what you do differently.

Of course I do! Who knows when a moment will arise during my day that I can open a book and read as long as the break lasts. Better safe than sorry, right? I carry at least two books around, so I have options. I usually read two books at a time, either one non-fiction and one fiction or both fiction. Occasionally I have two nonfiction books at one time but my brain can only process so many books I cannot easily get into at once so I’ve found that none to one nonfiction books are best; especially considering my attention span and how easy I find it to get lost in fiction.

Inside the house I carry my phone and a book pretty much wherever I go. If I’m watching TV? There are commercials that I could be reading through. While I cook dinner? That’s at least ten minutes of semi-interupted reading I could be doing. Besides, I, quite frankly, feel naked and confused without a book by my side or my phone on top of it.the secret

I choose my purses based on how many books I can fit in it and a notebook for my writing (NYT Bestselling future author here--just watch!). It kills me that I can’t read my book while I drive. I’ve only had one wonderful experience where traffic wasn’t moving at all for about an hour so I read instead of driving, occasionally drifting forward when necessary (don’t judge me--I wouldn’t do it in traffic that was moving at least 10 mph faster than that. [winkey face]).
